To the Older Christian

You may be growing older
And your step a mite bit slow
You may not move as fast as once,
But oh, God loves you so.
You may think that you're not needed
That your work down here is through!
But my beloved oldster,
God has a plan for you.
Your white hair shows the wisdom
You've gathered through the years;
Your patience stands for victories,
Proves you've conquered many fears.
Your sweetness shows that Christ prevails
His love for you inbides;
As these virtues flow out from you,
You're blessing other lives.
Oh, don't ever be discouraged,
If others must wait for you;
You've done your share of services;
Just let His light shine through.
So rejoice and live with Jesus
And to others his kindness show;
You're still wanted and still needed;
You're God's messenger, you know.
